Idea: "Sprayed Pellets" - An edit of "The Seige at Ruby Ridge"

To me, the incident at Ruby Ridge is a terrifying example of government brutality, but politics aside, I was very much taken back by how CBS portrayed Randy Weaver as an all-out, neo-Nazi, KKK, bigot. Since it’s already a staggering 175 minutes long, I figured I could put my film editing skills (my edit of The Phantom Menace is nearly ready for release, I’m just waiting for the voice actor for Jar Jar) and do the Weaver family and Kevin Harris justice by giving a somewhat less-inaccurate portrayal of what happened those few weeks in Idaho.

While Randy is/was a white supremacist, there is no evidence to show that he was brainwashing his kids by having them repeat “White Power!” and telling them “Save the arguing to the Jews and the n****rs.” In fact, they only visited the compound up to two times, and he definitely wouldn’t put racist slang in every one of his sentences like he does in the movie.

Planned edits include:
-cutting out most of the racist comments made in the movie (the ones left in will be subtle and “not as bad”)
-the entire KKK scene
-any mentioning of Nazis
-Sammy’s “You killed by dog you son of a b!tch!” (or at least the “son of a b!tch” part)
-Randy brainwashing his kids
-more on the list when I watch the film in its entirety.

You can find the entire docudrama here, tell me what you think I should (or shouldn’t change).
